After a goalless first half, it was Harvey Elliott who brought the breakthrough. The Liverpool player broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute with a powerful strike. The lead was short-lived: ten minutes later, Noah Ohio surprised James Beadle to bring the two teams level (72’).
But England finished stronger. And once again, it was the unstoppable Elliott who made the difference. In the 86th minute, he weaved through the Dutch defense and finished with a curled shot into the far corner: 2-1, England secured their qualification!
Final score: England 2-1 Netherlands. The Young Lions will face the winner of the other semi-final between France and Germany.
